Well, my plans for tomorrow have changed a bit. I got laid off today, right before it was time to go home. The manager said he really wanted to keep me, and he fought to keep me, but the company is struggling, and they need someone with the skill set to build and implement their new content management system...and don't have time for a learning curve.

My manager said he'd be an outstanding reference for me, and that my next company will be very lucky to have someone so dedicated and such an independent self-starter.

I'm bummed....but not letting it get me down too much because I know I have very sought after skills. I've already updated my resume and have found several jobs to apply for in the morning (when my brain is fresh and I can write a dazzling cover letter).

I will get to the post office tomorrow and mail the new flash drive to Jen.
